We’ve learned that this message has gone out at a number of state agencies. Unlike the legislature’s past months of hitting the snooze alarm on the state budget, there was no appropriation for state employee pay outside of this week’s budget extender bill… the very one up for a vote today.

Update: the extender passed on Monday evening, and readers report that they’re receiving direct deposits as if nothing were affected. Hooray!

Please be advised that there will be a delay in receiving your Advices and Paychecks. Please do not call or e-mail the payroll unit regarding this message. This is the only information that we have. We will release more information as we receive it.

Date 06/18/10 – Pick Up and Distribution of Direct Deposit Advice Statement and Payroll Checks: Due to continuing budget negotiations direct deposit advice statements and payroll checks may not be available for the regularly scheduled pick up on Monday, June 21 2010, for most agencies. Statements and payroll checks will not be available until a budget appropriation for the June 23, 2010 check date is passed. OSC and Treasury cannot release advice statements or payroll checks for distribution to agencies until the budget appropriations are passed. This may result in a delay of delivery of the advice statements and payroll checks to agencies utilizing Fed Ex, OGS courier, UPS or the USPS.

Agencies should not send couriers to 110 State Street, Albany,until a message is posted to this bulletin board advising that direct deposit advice statements are available for pick up. Please refrain from contacting OSC Management Services or the Bureau of State Payroll Services with questions regarding the release of the advices.
